I was wondering when we were going to go to Blake and DJ to abuse the Mavs pitiful frontcourt. It took CP3 getting injured for it to happen.

this is honestly the time the Blake needs to show his stardom and play the best basketball of his career and excel his game.. granted if CP3 is out for a extended period of time i don't feel like reading or hearing about how blake is not all that from constant critics like Skip Bayless

Not necessarily. 48 minutes of that 3rd Q defense would do it. Tall order though.

best thing about this win was BG scoring 5pts in the last minute, hopefully a sign of things to come

I heard CP3 tried to come back in the Game, but wasn't allowed to return, CP3 is a warrior.

DJ, they finally got him the ball, as Shaq suggested, he looked like a beast tonight, I wonder if he'll be leading the league in rebounding after tonight.

Blake and Crawford didn't have a great shooting night, but both were big time down the stretch, and DC had a great night, really loved how he passed the ball in the 4th quarter, this was a great team win.

Wow what a game. Best win next to the Spurs Match.

DJ so fantastic today, and he can still make a hook shot like last season. ^^ Thumbs up also for Collison!

I think Jamal will need to come of the bench tomorrow.

Our second unit is getting thinner by the minute and we will need scoring pop of the bench.

Jackson, Jamison, heck dare i say it, Mullens needs to be ready!!!!

Tomorrows game won't be impossible maybe the guys feed off and win it for CP3 with some extra motivation.. I'm starting to worry more about the games afterwards that might be just a bit more difficult.. Hopefully we play good ball.. My fear is Jamal is going to be chucking a lot more shots though.

What the hell? I left work. We were down, like, 6 points. They looked unstoppable. DJ looked like he was on his way to an uncharacteristic monster offensive game, but Blake had 18 points but was shooting the ball poorly. I come back home and we win, BG and DJ both have 25 and a bunch of boards. Um awesome! I sure hope Paul's gonna be okay.

I think Crawford steps up while Paul is down...because without JJ and now Paul...he kinda has to.

Crazy that even with CP3's injury, Doc only played 8 guys total... and Willie had <10 minutes.

It shouldn't be that way though. Jamal has been the guy we place a lot of that scoring burden on even when Chris is in because he wants to be the facilitator and take his foot off the pedal. Tonight was a good night because DJ and Collison were on full alert. My wife made a good point that it was less detrimental for CP3 to go out because at least Collison is capable of managing that position, but if Blake or DJ go out....better pray.

That being said this team pulled together and won a very, very critical game. This gives us a cushion for the inevitable loss we will experience tomorrow at San Antonio, which is in what state exactly? (just kidding)

I could really go for some ass gifs right now to take my mind off this injury. Clippers_FTW where are you?

GUTSY. That's the word most appropriate for the HUGE win tonight without Chris Paul. Blake Griffin- so impressive down the stretch as the Clipper go-to guy, calmly sinking all his free throws. What a departure from even just last season- all his hard work is paying off. DeAndre Jordan- just massive all-star #'s tonight. Some wonder why all of a sudden he scored so many points from post plays, but some may wonder why he hasn't gotten more touches inside before tonight. He showed signs last season of big improvement with low post moves inside, but never really got much of a chance this season due to a much needed refocus on D & rebounding. But what production the Clippers received from him when they threw it to him in the post tonight. Good job on the boards & defensively as well.

Darren Collison- a heroic performance. Lately he has played very well, but tonight he just especially terrific on both ends. Knocking the ball away off of the Mav there in the final minute was gigantic. Jamal struggled again from deep, but still managed to chip in scoring-wise with mid-range jumpers & drives. Dudley had a so-so game, but was pretty solid defensively in the final minutes.

It will be a very difficult task tomorrow night w/o CP3 vs the Spurs, but it would not surprise me that with the improved play of Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan & Darren Collison, that the Clippers win the game. Good games would be needed from Crawford and Dudley as well.

As long as Jamal can score which he hasn't we can beat anybody.

I wasn't able to watch the game in its entirety last night --- I'm so happy Clippers won, but so sad CP3 got injured. I wish I had recorded this game! I'm looking forward to tonight's match up against the Spurs to see what Doc does to the starting line-up and bench. I hope all the Clippers rise to the occasion and win this game AND maintain the Pacific division lead while CP recuperates. CP needs to get 100% healthy.

I think we broke it twice,but it was also broken against us once in an OT game. Lawler's law not as accurate as in years past.

im very proud of this squad for pulling out the win on the road. things will be tough without Paul, but this is why we brought in Collison. provided we can stay in the playoff picture until Paul comes back then this won't be such a setback

Yeah, we should be getting JJ back...hopefully in 10 days or less. It's not the same but hopefully it'll help. Meanwhile BG, Jamal and DJ will have to do their thing. Collison, Dudley and Barnes stepping up wouldn't hurt either.
